Coroners in Greece to work alongside AI assistants

·

The government is aiming to bring the coroners’ service into the digital age through comprehensive modernisation, including the integration of artificial intelligence (AI).

According to an article of Sofia Spingou in kathimerini, this initiative is part of a draft bill on domestic violence being prepared by the Ministry of Justice. The proposed legislation, expected to be released for public consultation by the end of the month, includes provisions to equip coroners with advanced tools to enhance efficiency and accuracy.

One key feature of the reform is the introduction of a “digital assistant” for coroners. This AI-powered tool will analyze findings, provide probable causes of death, and reference relevant case precedents and literature far more quickly than a human could. While the final report will remain the coroner’s responsibility, the AI system is expected to significantly accelerate preliminary evaluations.

Additionally, the reforms include digital, camera-assisted autopsies supported by a program developed by the University of Piraeus. This advanced system is designed to enhance the precision and speed of medical examinations, ensuring more timely and reliable results.

By incorporating AI into the coroners’ service, the government aims to improve its efficiency and bring it in line with modern technological standards.
